have to admit that bananas are super convenient.
You can carry them anywhere, keep them clean in
their own packaging, and mash them whenever there
is a need. You actually do not need any other
fancy baby food-making equipment or even a fridge

of banana and let him chew properly before eating
it. So, if you feel your kids are ready to start
with solid foods, introduce bananas to their
regular diet.
